Metro Gray vs Princess

Metro Gray and Princess come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Metro Gray belongs to the grey family and Princess to the pink-red family. The 27-point LRV gap — 58 for Metro Gray vs 31 for Princess — means Metro Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Metro Gray leans yellow, Princess reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
